With the continuous push for ever more stringent life-safety related building codes, it has become commonplace for historically non-seismic regions of the country to require seismic restraint of MEP (Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing) equipment.

The VMC Group manufactures a wide variety of seismic mounts and restraints that will control the motion of equipment, piping and ductwork during a seismic event. Proper sizing and placement of seismic restraints and accurate calculation of anchor bolt forces is imperative in adequately restraining equipment against seismic effects. The VMC Group’s seismic mounts and restraints are designed to provide the strength and isolation necessary to maximize the chances of these systems remaining attached to the building structure.

The VMC Group will consult with engineers and architects to determine the best possible seismic solutions for your projects.
